making new door opening in apex shed

[Steve Blackdog]

Hi folks

I have a nice 12 x 8 apex shed with a door in the side. I'm thinking it would be much more useful to have double doors in one end.

My plan is to make a new opening in the end wall and make a pair of doors to fit (hopefully out of the t&g boards I cut out when I make the hole).

Is there anything particular that I need to take into account? Please do not save my blushes - don't want the shed to fall down, so I will be happy to hear comments that might seem screamingly obvious :lol:

Cheers Steve

Check out my workshop build. It shows how I made the end wall and the triple door. You should be able to adjust your end wall in a similar fashion and hinge the doors on either side.

Shultzy's design is nice but if you want to insulate the doors I also liked the design from here.

If it's broke, but works for you, don't tell them it needs fixed!!!)
